    Make sure the bezel isn't crenelated...or too crenelated.

    Source for AW RCR123 750 mah??

    Hi Folks So far I've only found a single retailer (Going Gear) for AW RCR123's (750 mah). Is my GoogleFu weak or has this battery turned into a mythical unicorn of sorts? And/or is there another brand of RCR123 that I should be looking at instead? I need them for my HDS torch. Thanks!!

    HDS Systems EDC # 18

    I was concerned about throw and here's how Henry described it to me before I bought it... "The 325 is has a larger spot - not hugely larger but clearly larger than our regular lights. If you light has the Osram Golden Dragon LED, it has a narrower beam than our regular lights - so the...

    HDS Systems EDC # 18

    So I just received my new 325 lm EDC tactical. I have an older RA Clicky 170 lm and I'm pretty happy with the overall upgrade in lumens and beam profile. But I'm scratching my head a bit at the Rotary feature. I understand that there are three positions essentially...Momentary Maximum...

    HDS Systems EDC # 18

    For me, I was simply trying to figure out what the noticeable difference is going to be between my old 170 and the 325. I like the throw of the 170. And based on what Henry says, it looks like I end up with a little better throw but a bigger beam...which comes across more floody in a practical...

    Review: Fenix LD02 (XP-E2, 1x AAA, 100 lumens)

    Re: Fenix LD02 vs Fenix E12 - measured and commented The big plus of moon mode...to me anyway...is in a SHTF situation where you really need to conserve battery power. Those situations, however, are obviously few and far between. But it's also good when you a) don't want to disrupt your night...

    HDS Systems EDC # 18

    It's Beauuuuuuuuutiful (insert crazy cat meme here). Thank you! Been talking to Henry on this too as I need a new tailcap for my current light. He describes it as follows... "The 325 is has a larger spot - not hugely larger but clearly larger than our regular lights. If you light has the...

    *NEW* Fenix PD40 1x26650 MT-G2 Light

    So what is the shelf life on a 26650? How long will a fully charged cell maintain it's charge if unused? I'm looking for a new house light. Preferably one that can run on both primary and rechargeables but I need a rechargeable that can hold a charge for 3-6 months. My current house light is...

    HDS Systems EDC # 18

    Thanks but that's not quite what I was after. #1385 is a 120lm shot and #1746 is a close up. Is there a distance shot of the 325 or better, a distance shot of both the 250 and 325? I'm trying to get a feel for the floodiness of the 325 and how it affects distance viewing. As well as purely...

    HDS Systems EDC # 18

    Thanks for the response! Does anyone happen to know if there is a thread or post that has some beam shots of the 325? Or one that compares it with the 250, etc? This thread is up to 62 pages. That's a lot of postings to wade through! ;-)

    SureFire UDR Dominator - Review, Photos and discussion

    Re: SureFire UDR Dominator - Photos, discussion, and review in progress I'd like to understand this too. I mean that sincerely. I really want to understand what makes this light so expensive compared to similar products on the market.

    HDS Systems EDC # 18

    Well that's interesting as I did not know this. Can you tell me a bit more about the beam pattern on the 325? My point of reference is my very old 170 lm RA Clicky (steps down to 140 after a brief time). I love this light and am very happy with beam pattern on it. So I'm wondering what...

    HDS Systems EDC # 18

    Can someone tell me when the 325 lm lights came out? I seem to recall checking the HDS site a few months ago and only saw 250 lights...unless I missed them. Was just wondering how long they've been out? And how frequently do the lights get lumen bumps? Is there any set timeframe/plan or...

    Does My Tail Button Need to be Replaced - RA Clicky (HDS)

    Well then...since I need to call Henry anyway, I should probably pick up one of the new 325 lumen tactical lights, right? I mean, as long as I'm calling and as long as he's going to be shipping me something anyway, it seems a shame to waste all that energy on just a tail cap. :)
